We're looking for an experienced high reach forklift operator to join a cold storage company at their Rocklea facility, working across both chilled/freezer and ambient areas.

This is reach work — 5 high, double deep racking. If you're confident placing and retrieving a pallet in the back position at height without touching the racking, we want to hear from you.

Start times are versatile: 7am–3pm or 9am–5pm, Monday to Friday. Pick whichever suits your commute or your family.

This starts as a casual assignment, but the client has a strong record of making good operators permanent.

What you'll be doing
Operating a high reach forklift — put-away and retrieval, 5 high, double deep
Working across chilled/freezer and ambient areas throughout the shift
Replenishing stock and keeping stock available for the pick team
Inbound receipting, put-away and staging pallets for dispatch
RF scanning — stock movements, locations and transfers
Stock accuracy work — cycle counts and location checks
Pre-start checks, battery swaps or charging, and reporting damage or faults
Keeping aisles transparent, racking undamaged and the site safe

What you'll need
Current LF (forklift) High Risk Work Licence
Proven high reach experience




Demonstrated double deep experience at height — this is the core of the job
Comfortable working in cold conditions (chiller ~2–4°C, freezer [TEMP]) as well as ambient
Accuracy and care — at 5 high, mistakes damage stock, racking and people
Reliability — on site, on time, every day. It's what gets people made permanent here.
Full working rights in Australia
Access to reliable transport

A bonus, not essential:
LO (order picker) licence
Experience in cold storage, food, produce, pharma or 3PL
Food safety or HACCP awareness
Racking inspection or safety awareness training

Why take this one
$36.50/hr + super
Choice of start time — 7am–3pm or 9am–5pm, whichever suits you
Monday to Friday. No weekends, no night shift.
Ongoing full time hours from day one — not a one-week fill-in
All cold-room PPE and gear supplied
Established cold storage business with a well-maintained fleet and organised racking
